Either that or the board got damaged.

So i was trying to clean up the wires in my PC, and i also decided to put in a cleaner looking SATA cable, it had 3 SATA power connectors, so i 2 of them to my SSD, and HDD. When i turned the PC on, the whole thing engulfed in smoke. When i investigated what happened after shutting down the PC, i found the SSD like this (see pic). Obviously, the SSD is a complete loss, but the rest of the PC is fine, and connectors on the HDD seem to be intact. However, it's not showing up in the Bios. Basically, what I'm trying ask, is the HDD also fried? Thanks in advance for the help.

The drives are dead. I remembered i have an optical drive, and all 6 of my SATA ports reconized it. Thank you for not being sarcastic about the situation.
